The Listed House

Simpson & Voyle

The image reveals a cozy and stylish snug on the lower ground of a home, designed for relaxation and informal comfort. The space is characterized by its moody and sophisticated color palette, with dark walls that create an intimate atmosphere. A plush, textured sofa invites relaxation and is adorned with an eclectic mix of cushions, including a bold patterned one that adds a splash of color and character to the room. A subtle herringbone pattern on the rug underfoot introduces texture and movement, providing a contrast to the dark tones of the room. A brass wall sconce with a simple, elegant design offers a warm glow, reflecting off the dark walls to enhance the snug's inviting ambiance. The artwork above the sofa, comprised of colorful spines of vinyl records, injects personality and a sense of fun into the decor, speaking to a love of music or nostalgia. A ceramic vase and a side table with a vase of dried flowers complement the snug's aesthetic, adding natural elements and a touch of rustic charm. This space is thoughtfully curated to provide a comfortable retreat that is both stylish and personal, ideal for unwinding at the end of the day.

Historic Ross

Ann Lowengart Interiors

This large gated estate includes one of the original Ross cottages that served as a summer home for people escaping San Francisco's fog. We took the main residence built in 1941 and updated it to the current standards of 2020 while keeping the cottage as a guest house. A massive remodel in 1995 created a classic white kitchen. To add color and whimsy, we installed window treatments fabricated from a Josef Frank citrus print combined with modern furnishings. Throughout the interiors, foliate and floral patterned fabrics and wall coverings blur the inside and outside worlds.

As part of the extensive, whole house remodel, the home theater was opened up to the rest of the lower level. Adjacent to the billiards area, the dark and masculine space features menswear-inspired touches like pinstriped gray wool wallcovering, tufted leather chesterfields, and plaid upholstered mid-century style arm chairs. The custom, two-tone cocktail table anchors the seating arrangement and sits on a geometric hair-on-hide rug. Heidi Zeiger

Vollständig verstecktes Heimkino mit einer 7.1 Surround Sound Anlage, welche vollständig in Wände und Mobiliar integriert ist. Hier zeigt sich die vollständige Integration eines Smart Homes. Wenn das Heimkino eingeschaltet wird verdunkeln sich die Dachfenster, die Jalousien fahren herunter, die Leinwand fährt raus, der Beamer springt an und fährt aus seinem Versteck in der Decke, der AV Receiver wechselt auf die richtige Quelle, das Licht dimmt auf eine entspannte Kino Atmosphäre und die Industrie Leuchte fährt hoch, so dass der Beamer auf die Leinwand projizieren kann. Alles mit einem Sprachbefehl oder Tastendruck.

Home Theatre Design Photos with Light Hardwood Floors

A theatre room can take time and money to perfect, but when done right, it can blow you (and your friends!) away. Technology has never been better, and with the likes of a 3D TV, projector or super-sized TV, surround sound, comfy sofa and recliner chairs, you can easily bring Hollywood into your home. True film fanatics might even install a popcorn machine or fairy floss maker! Add a gaming console that can hook up to the big screen and you have yourself a fully functional media room. If you’re really serious about creating your own home theatre, spend some time researching the right home theatre systems for your needs, as well as speakers, lighting and lounge furniture. Or, seek the help of a Home Theatre Professional for advice on audio visual and home automation.

Do I need a designated room for a home cinema?

If you have space to spare, a separate cinema room can be quite the luxury, but it’s definitely not necessary to enjoy all the benefits of home theatre experience. Most people integrate their home cinema into their living room. So you don’t compromise on style, consider having your TV screen mounted to the wall, or install a projector that can be stowed away when not in use. If in your living room, try to disguise your speakers and any cables. Ceiling-integrated speakers are a great option. Otherwise, in a standalone theatre room, consider making your speakers a feature.

What should I look for in home theatre seating?

Comfort should be front of mind when looking for home theatre seating, so look for options that allow you to sink in, recline and adjust your headrest. For an authentic cinema-going experience, stadium seating is a must. Platforms and stairs, complete with LED step lighting, can mimic tiers. Leather recliner chairs are a top-end choice, or you could opt for several modular sofas and ottomans instead. To cater for those who like to watch, eat and drink at the same time, look for seating that has cup holders, or install a bar area with turnable stools.

What equipment should I add to my media room?

A projector and projector screen will lead to a more dramatic movie experience, but the picture can be slightly blurry if the equipment quality is bad. A high-definition plasma or LCD TV might not be quite as large scale, but will deliver a more crisp, clear image. You can, however, find oversized wall-mounted TVs that match the size of a projector screen – but these do cost a pretty penny. Next, enhance your cinema experience with surround sound to make the movie-goers feel like they’re right in the middle of the action. Home automation can further replicate the real cinema experience. Consider installing lights that automatically dim once the film starts, or LED strip lighting that comes on when a movie is paused. Finish your fit-out with a gaming console so you can use the big screen and comfy seats to battle your friends.
